    The 8 wheeler I think you're talking about was at the Jialing show. The picture for that may be in the video.

    ChongQing is not only known for it's motorcycles but beautiful girls. Although all provinces in China claim to have the most beautiful girls some of the models at the show were worth mentioning.

    Lifan had a good showing but unfortunately their display was not very well lit. <click on portraits for larger image>








    Jialing gave a good show as well and went more for theatrics.






    Being more into landscapes, I'm not an experienced model photographer and this was a fun growing experience. Of all the companies, I'd have to say XGJao's ladies stole the show.







    The girl in the background above got probably the most attention in the show and was good at looking into the camera!










    If there was an award...she'd get it! :thumbup:

    Doesn't look like there's much space for a big ol' tackey 5 there Jim. Where would you have them put it on their outfits? :biggrin:

    I would've expected to see it right around where it says Lifan :wink: Like how the 5 is front and center on the common gy5 dual sport, or that atv she's posing with...

    Not that I'm complaining... :drool:


    Anyways... Did you have any more pictures from the Lifan section (wondering what types of bikes those girls in the back are posing with).

    I'll be intrested when the Jailing 600's are in Canada.I think it would be just awsome to have one with a sidecar.

    Great photo's Carl.

    Kens,

    Thanks for the comments. I really love taking photos at bike shows and am still sore I missed the one in Indianapolis this year.

    It would certainly be nice if the JH600 side car was sold in North America. There really aren't all that many option for sidecars here and a modern design with strong engine could be attractive. There certainly seems to be some developed interest in it, I guess it's just up to the importers now!

    Great pictures from the 2008 show. I want to go to the 2009 show. Anyone know when and where it is being held? Anything special I have to do to get a ticket for getting in or is it similar to the shows in the US?

    Cheers!
    Bill

    Not sure about the dates but last year it was in April. I tried searching for the 2009 show on line but didn't see anything! If it is still on, you can probably register at the door. If I hear about the dates I'll let you know.

    Diggin around I found myself "quoted" at the 2008 CIMTE by Qingqi...

    "Mr. Carl, an American ZERO lover, shared his experience of Qingqi ZERO in the trial run arena, “I am looking forward to owning a motorcycle with high ability for hill-crossing and grade-climbing. Now I’m very happy as I find it finally.” At the beginning of May, Mr. Carl would carry on his half-a-year ecotourism and guided outdoor adventure to in Shangmeng, a small Tibetan village in the southwest border of China. He said, “The Qingqi ZERO can cross obstacles easily or even precipitous mountains, adjust the transmission ratio through 520 chain and chain wheel, and reach a high speed through the greatest power of the engine when running on the motorway. The handling and its response feel very good, and it is very easy to adjust the braking, so it is a terrific off-road motorcycle. I’m very confident about it.”

    Looks like I need to work on my English grammar!

    Mr. Carl
